===Resale=== According to [[United States federal law]], a company can restrict the parties to which it sells but it cannot prevent a buyer from reselling the product. Software licensing agreements usually prohibit resale, enabling the company to maximize revenue.{{sfn|Terasaki|2013|pp=469-470}} Proprietary software is usually offered under a restrictive license that bans copying and reuse and often limits the purchaser to using the software on one computer.{{sfn|O'Regan|2022|p=394}}{{sfn|Morin ''et al.''|2012|loc=Proprietary Licensing}} [[Source code]] is rarely available. Derivative software works and [[reverse engineering]] are usually explicitly prohibited.{{sfn|Morin ''et al.''|2012|loc=Proprietary Licensing}} The issue of reuse is particularly important in the copyright law of English-speaking countries.{{sfn|Eichstädt |Spieker|2024|p=273}}
